  • Patent number: 9687093
    Abstract: A patient warming device (400), which can be configured as a patient warming blanket (207), patient warming drape (300), or surgical drape (500), includes the top layer of material and optionally a bottom layer of material. The top layer (401) can be formed by laminating non-woven fabric (301) to a film layer (100) or by needle punching fibers through the film layer (100). The film layer (100) has a thermally reflective side (404) and a thermally absorptive side (405). The patient warming device (400) can be used in a patient warming system (700) with one or more light sources (701,702) and an optional control module (704) to warm a patient during and after medical procedures.

  • Patent number: 9149162
    Abstract: A rolled sheet dispenser (100) includes a first housing member (601) that is hingedly coupled to a second housing member (602). A pair of feed rollers (501,502) are disposed within the rolled sheet dispenser (100), with one of the feed rollers (501) disposed within the first housing member (601) and the other feed roller (502) disposed within the second housing member (602). A mounting stem (503), which is capable of accommodating both cored and coreless paper rolls of different widths, is disposed within one of the housings. When the first housing member (601) is pivoted to a closed position, the feed rollers (501,502) abut. When the first housing member (601) and the second housing member (602) are pivoted to an open position, the feed rollers (501,502) separate. Also, an end (608) of the mounting stem (503) becomes exposed and accessible.
